Bradley glanced up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"That question should be directed back at you. What do you mean?" Kevin pressed a photo on the camera and presented it to Bradley. "Is this your doing? Didn't women always repel you? Didn't you have a psychological disorder? Treating Esther this way proves that she's the exception you mentioned before, doesn't it?"
"Who gave you permission to take her photos?" When Bradley saw the photos, he immediately felt furious, as if someone had invaded his privacy.
"Bradley, answer me. Is Esther an exception to you?" Kevin suddenly understood why Bradley had kept Esther close despite not loving her.
The main reason was that only Esther could make Bradley feel like a real man.
"Kevin, delete them!"
Kevin firmly held onto the camera. "Is this why you mistreat Esther?"
"Give me the camera!" Bradley snatched it from Kevin and quickly deleted all the photos without even looking at them. He wouldn't allow anyone, not even the doctors, to see Esther's body.
"Bradley, do you think that you can absolve yourself of the crimes you've committed by erasing these photos?
"You know very well that Esther was also a victim in what happened five years ago. Aren't you going too far in blaming her for everything?"
Bradley growled, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't—"
"Esther wasn't the one who drugged you five years ago!" Kevin reminded, "Have you forgotten the expensive deal you signed with Liliane? The one responsible for your psychological condition five years ago isn't Esther. You've misplaced your blame. You've directed your hatred at the wrong person!"
Bradley tossed the camera back to Kevin and coldly replied, "Kevin, this is none of your business."
"You've harmed Esther to the point where she's severely injured, and you say it's not my business? You—"
Jasper placed his hand on Kevin's shoulder, reminding him, "Kevin, we can discuss this later. What's happening inside?"
Kevin shook his head weakly.
